Don't impose 115 and strikes will stop: ETFO

ONTARIO - The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has said it will cease rotating strikes, and take no new strike action, if Education Minister Laurel Broten does not impose collective agreements after Dec. 31 under Bill 115.
In a press release, the ETFO said their offer extends until a new premier is put in place at the Liberal Party convention in late January.
“The appointment of a new premier will provide an opportunity to take a fresh look at the current collective bargaining impasse and find respectful solutions,” said ETFO President Sam Hammond.
“Our proposal respects existing collective bargaining processes and the fundamental rights of our members and all working Ontarians. If the minister decides to take precipitous action and trigger further disruption, this will aggravate the situation for parents, students, and our members.”
